Roma 4-0 Slovan Bratislava: Dominant Victory
Roma effortlessly took charge at the Stadio Olimpico, overwhelming Slovan Bratislava with a 4-0 win.
GASPERINI'S FORMATION
Gasperini opted for a defensive lineup, resting Mancini and Ndicka. Ghilardi, Balerdi, and Hermoso formed the backline. Molina and Wesley patrolled the flanks, with de Roon and Pisilli controlling the midfield. Soulé was also sidelined, with Pellegrini stepping in to play alongside Mora, just behind Malen.
TOTAL CONTROL
Roma asserted immediate dominance. Wesley and Molina played wide, forcing Slovan into a difficult choice: either defend them and leave the center open for Malen's incursions, or allow them space. Slovan chose the latter. Wesley, in particular, consistently outplayed Blackman, who struggled to contain him. The Brazilian, along with Pellegrini, proved a constant threat, repeatedly breaking through on the left flank. Slovan struggled to maintain compactness. Mora found space between the lines but couldn't capitalize.
THE NUMBERS TELL THE STORY
Roma finished with 73% possession, registering 26 shots to Slovan's 1, and 70 touches in the opponent's box compared to 4. This complete supremacy left the visitors struggling to build attacks. The initial plan was to exploit space, but Camara only managed one successful run with the ball, achieving little. Roma, meanwhile, enjoyed freedom to pass around the edge of the box, sometimes even inside it. Upon losing possession, they immediately pressed, and Slovan lacked the quality to break through.
